Hi, the shell being used (bash in this case) treats some characters as special, e. g. '!' and '#'. You can find a rather comprehensive list of those at http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/special-chars.html.
Simply put your password into single quotes and you should be fine: graylog-ctl set-admin-password '!0911!alpHa4#' Cheers, Jochen On Wednesday, 25 May 2016 08:16:58 UTC+2, Leittechnik SUN wrote: > > hi, > i want to change the admin password to some strong password. i tried to > change the password on the web-gui, but graylog say "could not update > password, verify your current password ist correct".
